NAME

Ordeal::Model::Backend::Raw - Cards/decks management via raw data

SYNOPSIS

use Ordeal::Model;
use Ordeal::Model::Backend::RAw;

my %data = (...);
my $backend = Ordeal::Model::Backend::RAw->new(data => \%data);
my $model = Ordeal::Model->new(backend => $backend);

my $card = $backend->card($card_id); # OR
   $card = $model->get_card($card_id);

my $deck = $backend->deck($deck_id); # OR
   $deck = $model->get_deck($deck_id);

my @deck_identifiers = $backend->decks();

DESCRIPTION

This module is a simple backend for Ordeal::Model based on a data structure.

The provided data structure is a hash reference with the following structure (sketched in YAMLish shape):

cards:
   - id: d3-1
     data: this is face 1
     content-type: text/plain
   - id: d3-2
     data: this is face 2
     content-type: text/plain
   - id: d3-3
     data: this is face 3
     content-type: text/plain
decks:
   - id: d3
     cards: [ d3-1 d3-2 d3-3 ]
   - id: loaded-d3
     cards: [ d3-1 d3-2 d3-3 d3-3 ]

Cards are provided as an array of hashes; each has an identifier and identifiers must be unique (or an exception will be raised). Other parameters that are used can be seen in the documentation for Ordeal::Model::Card.

Decks are provided as an array of hashes; each has an identifier and identifiers must be unique (or an exeption will be raised). A deck must also have a cards key pointing to an array with the list of car identifiers, in the order they appear in a sorted deck.

METHODS

card

my $card = $obj->card($id);

get a card by identifier. Returns a Ordeal::Model::Card object.

deck

my $deck = $obj->deck($id);

get a deck by identifier.

decks

my $decks = $obj->decks;

Get a list of all available decks (actually, their identifiers).

new

my $be = Ordeal::Model::Backend::Raw->new(data => \%data);

Create a new instance, based on the provided \%data hash reference.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

The code leverages some experimental Perl features like signatures and postderef; for this reason, at least perl 5.20 will be needed.
